  1. AHC: Wank the McDonnell F-4 Phantom II

    Yes, but also landing. The RN requirements around the carrier were considerably tougher than the USN, particularly having to bring back bombs to a small, slow ship. That said the Spey was some 12% more powerful and more fuel efficient giving some 15% more flight endurance than J79 models...
  2. Socialist revolution in a European empire; what happens to the colonies?

    I'd say the closest example we have is what happened in Portugal in 1974, so decolonisation would be the order of the day, especially after 1945 (I know calling the Portuguese Revolution socialist is controversial but as I said, closest)

    Threadmarks: One Hundred and Ten: More presidential candidates (May 1922)

    New York City (USA): New York Times, May 3rd, 1922, p. 1: NOMINATION RACE FOR RUSSIAN ELECTIONS HEATS UP FOREIGN MINISTER RUNS FOR PRESIDENT The race for the Russian presidency has a new prominent contender: Before a crowd of tens of thousands of workers in Vladimir on Labor Day [1]...
  4. AHC: Unite a continent.

    Easy. Britain grab all the Oceanian islands, give them to a united Australia + New Zealand, which also gets PNG.
  5. AHQ: was Greece destined to be the cradle of European civilization?

    Even them that was a effect of Greece OTL luck of their geographical position could get influences from the middle east. the persians among others too You need a rock solid Gaul can reach that level of cultural influence, without perso-babylonian would be hard

    AHQ: was Greece destined to be the cradle of European civilization?

    Sorry, my point was supposed to be that the meeting ground of civilisations would shift Westwards if Greece becomes part of Persia. You could perhaps see this before with Anatolia or the Levant, in the past having been the meeting point of empires, but once subsumed by Persia that meeting...
  7. Dunkirk Disaster and colonies exchanged for withdrawal from France and Netherlands

    The UK is never going to agree to this, let alone the rest.
  8. AHQ: was Greece destined to be the cradle of European civilization?

    It seems you are talking about an early iron age POD, within this context it seems unlikely to me that such a scenario arises, because the Greeks were important OTL in the spreading of iron and writing to the west, maybe you could replace them through another populations from inland of the...
  9. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Folks, let's not re-derail the derail of the derail. What to debate the Crusades? Outstanding. Pre-1900 is right ⬆️ yonder.
  10. AHC: Unite a continent.

    I'VE A GENUINE QUESTION, what is a continent? is not that a political term too? For example Europe can or couldn't end at Pyrenees and other unique combinations
  11. 1901 and Going Up (A Collaborative TL)

    By Around 1910 or Later, The WBL will be No More and San Antonio, Seattle, Kansas City and Salt Lake City will enter the MLB maybe Portland and One More Team can follow suit or maybe never but Stick with the four we had.
  12. Socialist revolution in a European empire; what happens to the colonies?

    The USSR sure didn't treat their formerly colonial outlands any better then the Czars did. I voted for worse, although I suspect in history another Empire would step in and take over to stem the red tide from washing to Africa or Asia.
  13. Dunkirk Disaster and colonies exchanged for withdrawal from France and Netherlands

    The British wouldn't be giving up anything and getting their troops back. The British navy was still the biggest in 1940. The British Fleet would probably still have 2-1 superiority even if the Germans acquired the French fleet, which follows the Anglo German naval agreement. This should be an...
  14. What if the U.S. outsourced manufacturing to post-Soviet Russia instead of China?

    Or almost any country that developed any meaningful industry
  15. Fact Check Article: Prototype Nazi Nuclear Bombers Were Within a Few Months of Hitting New York

    Ignoring the minuscule chance they could pull off an A Bomb, best case it’s late 1944. No way of hitting the US, slim chance of a revenge strike on London/Paris - the skies to the west are thick with allied air cover and radar unless you can somehow get one on the tip of a V2. In all...
  16. Peshawar Lancers Redux: North America

    By 1902 it was clear that Teddy was making lots of progress. People began to feel a lot better about the country and themselves. The result was that the Nationalist expanded their majority in the Congress The Brooklyn Naval Yard began to work on plans for a dreadnought type of Battleship. It...
  17. An Alternate 1989 NFL Draft

    49ers are more likely to trade Eddie D's kidney for a new blocking sled than make that deal with the Raiders. That is still WAY more likely than the Al Davis making the same deal. RE: Deion Sanders. Unless you have a team like San Francisco or Miami, who are already pretty solid and went...
  18. Kaiserreich: Legacy of the Weltkrieg

    If anything, it's a buff. If a moderate like Thomas is their candidate and wins, their power base will go far beyond the steel belt, and the civil war will be mostly about dealing with one, maybe two rebel groups, then introducing much needed social democratic reforms without replacing American...

    A House Divided Against Itself: An 1860 Election Timeline

    There isn't one exact P.O.D. for this TL. If I had to pinpoint something, then I would just say that Lincoln is less ambitious than IOTL, so he doesn't position himself to receive the nomination and do his backroom dealings. Overall, though, this TL is focusing more on several different things...
